A new arrival!

I just joined mere minutes ago. I go by the name of Glitterz as in "all that glitters..." I'm not gold; not even close. I just like the expression. I'm just a regular person. I go to university and I'm using one of the computers in the student lounge here. As far as I know I have never been here before.

So I've been following the "Getting Started" guide and came here before making friends since I don't think I know anyone here.

Time: Pacific Standard Time
Locale: West coast of Canada

Hobbies - collecting online pets from fantasy sites like this one! I also read lots of fantasy stuff. Don't watch much TV any more (too busy with school). Don't know what I want to do with my life yet; I'll see where life leads me.

Goal - to get lots and lots of different creatures! To make new friends online. To hand out milk and cookies to all guests coming my way & feeding my creatures.

It's ok - we don't bite...

Welcome to EggCave @glitterz !!

If you need help feel free to ask because nearly everyone here will he happy to help! You can ping people by writing @ in front of their username and that person will receive a notification saying that you have pinged them on a topic. Why don't you try pinging me?

Other ways of communicating is on a person's wall, you cannot ping on a wall. The Wall is located on the person's profile and if someone writes on your wall you reply to them on THEIR wall, not yours. This is a common mistake seen XD

Another common mistake is seeing players not feeding their own creatures, you CAN feed your own creatures!

Creatures gain levels by gaining feeds, clicks and views. You will notice that even if you have clicked and fed a creature, the level won't increase straight away. This is because levels and views only update once a day, around 3am ECT

Hide your EC (EggCoins) that you get from feeding your pets and other's everyday in your Strongroom and gather the interest every day.
When unable to go on EggCave for a while leave your pets at Tim's Food Shoppe and keep an eye on the Laws of Ark (site guidelines).

To gain some friends take a look at the forum. But make sure you do not revive a 'dead' topic. A topic that has not been active for quite a number of months! There are many threads that are active and many are always happy to chat to new players!

Cave Monthlies are creatures that are only going to be obtainable for this current month, take a look at recent blog posts to see which critters are the current monthlies.

A note, please be careful with trading, many will try to get a better deal out of a newer player just because you are new. Before trading for creatures, please do a little research first!

With the list of creatures, #1 on Eggcave IS NOT the rarest, it is the most common (there have been instances when players have tried selling the #1 creature because they thought it was the rarest)

Messages that only have a smiley/emote (whatever you call them where you live) are considered spam and are not allowed

Also, join the Click Exchange to help get your creatures more clicks and feeds!

I hope you have fun 😊

Thanks so much @mastergemma! I shall try to find the click exchange (unless it's right under my nose, which could be likely where it is - I can't focus until I've had my first cup of coffee).

@glitterz

Welcome to eggcave hope you enjoy it here. The Click Exchange is found the side that says XC you can put up to 10 of your eggs in it, but to get yours to hatch you'll have to feed other ppls eggs.
